UCL Engineering Faculty deck (WIP)
- 1. UCL Engineering Change the world.
Editor's Notes
- The faclty of engineering at UCL is doing work that changes the world. Turning stem cells into cures, improving wireless internet access, reducing carbon emissions from building, rebuilding earthquake stricken communities.. We do things that matter.
- - Founded 1826 to break universities’ ties to religion, according to utilitarian philosophy of bentham et al. First Access for women on equal terms to men, 1878. 2008 RAE, over 50% rated ‘world-leading research’ or ‘internationally excellent’ Departments include Digital Humanities, Viking studies, London Centre for Nanotechnology Students from 140 countries (there are about 190 countries in the world) – Taught courses in Qatar, campuses in Australia, Kazakhstan, business partnership china, projects in cameroon, govt engagement peru - Most recently Charles Kao, EEE, 2009 award for work in fibre optics
- Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, Management Science and Innovation, Security and Crime Science, Medical Physics and Bioengineering, and Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering Because problems are interdisciplinary too! Example: low carbon city initiative in Nanying, China – low carbon public transport needs good infrastructure design (civil) good bus design (mech eng) and good fuel design (chem eng) possibly produced by bio methods (biochem eng) Shared centres with psychology and humanities – Centre for Digital Humanities, UCLIC , collaborationss with ICL, OX and Cam, work with TianGuan Hong Kong building company, MoD and NHS. Staff and students from about 60 countries
- Charles Kao (fibreoptics) nobel prize 2009 Picture is of fleming’s first valve. LCN has 120 staff, 12 EEE
- Work on growing comms wavelength lasers on silicon to interface between electronics and photonics (june ‘11), individual ion isolation and spin control for guantum computation (ongoing, presented at Royal Soc summer exhibition), precise control of refractive index: contributed to production of 1 st zero-refractive index material (jul ‘11) Manufacturing Equipment: optical photolithography, electron beam lithography, ion etching, plasma chemical vapour deposition, plasma cleaning, physical vapour deposition Analysis equiment: STM, cryo-STM, AFM
